Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?
Journal Article
Birch, H. L., Wilson, A. M., & Goodship, A. E. Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?. Journal of Applied Physiology, 105(6), 1927-1933. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00717.2007

This study explores the hypothesis that high-intensity exercise induces degenerative changes in the injury-prone equine superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), but not in the rarely injured common digital extensor tendon (CDET). The horse represent... Read More about Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?.

Measurement of stride parameters using a wearable GPS and inertial measurement unit
Journal Article
Tan, H. L., Wilson, A. M., & Lowe, J. C. Measurement of stride parameters using a wearable GPS and inertial measurement unit. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(7), 1398-1406. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.02.021

Both GPS and inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been extensively used in biomechanical studies. Expensive high accuracy GPS units can provide information about intrastride speed and position, but their application is limited by their size and cos...

Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position
Journal Article
Spence, A. J., Tan, H., & Wilson, A. M. Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(7), 680-683. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408X330338

Reasons for performing study: The speed and position data collected by TurfTrax Racing Data Limited during UK Thoroughbred racing have potential to benefit equine science and welfare. The size (the 2006 data set alone consists of 30,932 individual ho... Read More about Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position.
